Abstract The nature of the vegetation cover in Krasnoyarsk is due to the location of its territory near the border of the forest-steppe and taiga natural zones and anthropogenic impact. Natural vegetation includes 9 classes of formations, 18 groups of formations and 78 formations.

Inside some city micro-districts and quarters, courtyards, clumps of forest vegetation have been preserved, on the outskirts of the city, river banks, canals, islands, meadow and swampy areas, bush and aquatic vegetation are common, steppe areas are found on the southern slopes of the Yenisei banks.
